Pre-Market exhibitors satisfied with 1st day BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Exhibitors who opened their doors for the spring Pre-Market on Monday say they saw who they needed to see to make the event worth their while – major customers. Pre-Market opened Monday with the largest recorded number of pre-registered buyers, bringing a few thousand people into the city for the invitation-only event that concludes today. For companies with permanent showrooms in the city such as Progressive Furniture, the event is about showing off products that will premier at the spring High Point Market to obtain feedback or gain commitments from

“This morning, we’ve been pretty busy,” France said. “We’ve seen several major customers. For us, it’s worthwhile if we’ve had a major customer finalize a deal.

HIGH POINT – Furniture city’s version of race week has arrived. The 2010 United Healthcare North Carolina Marathon is set for Saturday in High Point. The 26.2-mile race, as well as a half marathon, begins at 8 a.m. A 5K run begins at 9 a.m. All of the races begin and end at Showplace on E. Commerce Avenue.

Traffic changes; sign up. 2A 1,800 total participants. A few hundred people typically sign up during the last week before the event. “Times are tough for everyone right now, but this race has been able to not only survive, but thrive,” said Melissa Fourrier, executive director of Foster Friends of North Carolina and race director. “Our race numbers are strong.

Our title sponsor is back for year No. 3. BB&T is now our half marathon sponsor. High Point Regional Hospital doubled their level of support. BannerPharmcaps is sponsoring for their first year, and many other sponsors. “This is extremely encouraging and demonstrates a huge level of commitment to the nature of this event, the economic impact it generates and the support it offers Foster Friends so that we can continue to serve local foster children with our

programs and services.” The race, a qualifier for the Boston Marathon, was held in the city for the first time last May. Organizers moved the date to March to accommodate runners’ wishes for cooler temperatures. The course is the same for all three races as last year and will remain open until 3 p.m. Motorists on Saturday can expect delays and closures, especially during the morning hours, at numerous intersections as runners pass through. “There will be times

intersections are locked down for a brief period simply based on the volume of runners,” said city Transportation Director Mark McDonald. “We’re encouraging people to be aware of the route and, if they have an alternate way to reach their destination, it would probably be wise to consider that.” In 2009, 1,981 runners participated, including 400 from a local kids’ running club that is not taking part this year. pkimbrough@hpe.com | 888-3531

Dash-cams pose open-record gray area Before you read...

Third in a five-part series on open government. 2A

BY DARRICK IGNASIAK ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

TRIAD – Randolph County Superior Court Judge Brad Long’s decision to declare that police dashcam videotapes are not a matter of public record is an example of how there are gray areas in open records laws, according to Hugh Stevens, an attorney who represents the N.C. Press Association. “There are gray areas in most statutes because most of them involve some matter of interpretation of what a term means,” Stevens said. “But in this particular instance, there was a rather specific kind of gray area or gap

in the law because the court was dealing with a kind of record that had really come to be used since the law had been enacted and SUNSHINE WEEK 2010 didn’t even exist for the most part when It’s your right the statute was put into law.” to know Last year, Long ■■■ was faced with the decision to determine if two dash-cam videotapes surrounding the Courtland Smith case should be released to the media. Smith, a 21-year-old fraternity president from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, was fatally shot Aug. 23, 2009, on Interstate 85 by an Archdale police officer after he called 911 asking for assistance.

Authorities identify officers, suspect in shooting BY PAT KIMBROUGH ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

THOMASVILLE – Authorities on Monday identified the person who was shot during a confrontation with Thomasville police officers last week. Brian Dale Oakley, 39, remained at Wake Forest Baptist University Medical Center Monday for treatment of injuries sustained during a traffic stop on Julian Avenue Friday, according to the Thomasville Police Department. Oakley was shot after allegedly drawing a gun on police who pulled over the white van he was driving about 4:15 p.m. after the vehicle was spotted driving erratically.

The two officers involved in the incident were Eric Scott Hicks, 26, and James Harrison Shores, 36, according to the N.C. Attorney General’s Office. A spokeswoman for the office could not provide additional public information about the officers, such as their years of service with the department. A call to the office of Thomasville police Chief Jeff Insley was not returned Monday. After Friday’s shooting, both officers were placed on administrative leave, which is standard procedure for Thomasville officers involved in use-of-force incidents. Police said Oakley is expected to recover from his injuries. He has several past addresses and

After holding the first marathon in Greensboro in 2008, Foster Friends of North Carolina reached an agreement with High Point to have the race in the city through 2015. Last year’s event raised about $30,000 for the nonprofit organization, which works to assist foster children statewide. The city will continue to host the event at no charge to organizers. It will cost the city about $25,000 to provide services, primarily police, parks and recreation and transportation, related to the event. Online registration for the races closes at midnight on Wednesday at the marathon’s Web site, www. ncmarathon.org. After that, registrations will be accepted on Friday from noon to 10 p.m. at Showplace. Organizers have enlisted the help of about 380 volunteers for race day but are still seeking course monitors.

Under North Carolina law, public records are defined as all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, films, sound recordings, magnetic or other tapes, electronic data-processing records and artifacts. Trying to get the dashcam video tapes released, Stevens represented several media outlets, in-

cluding The High Point Enterprise. “Dash-cam videos are a fairly recent phenomenon in the last few years, and so they are simply not mentioned one way or the other in the statute and the judge felt that was a problem because the way he read the law,” Stevens said. “His view was that law enforcement records are not public records unless the legislature creates some kind of specific exception for them, and because the

time for their daughter, now 2. “I know he loves me. I have never had any doubt at all about that,” Hunter said. “We love each other very much. And that hasn’t changed, and I believe that will be till death do us part.” Hunter also posed for photos for GQ that show her on a bed, barelegged in a man’s white dress shirt and a pearl necklace. In another shot, she’s lying on her back holding her daughter in her arms. She said she and Edwards had an immediate connection when they met at a New York City hotel AP in 2006, and she said she In this Feb. 3 photo provided by GQ, Rielle Hunter knew then that she was a holds Frances Quinn, her 2-year-old daughter fathered special person to him. by John Edwards, at her home in Charlotte.

RALEIGH (AP) – North Carolina’s tax revenues remain essentially on track through the first eight months of the fiscal year thanks to a one-time special collection in the fall. A report by the General Assembly’s top staff economist released Monday said tax collections are $45 million lower than projected in this year’s budget through February. That’s less than 0.5 percent off target. The revenues include $272 million more than expected

Authorities declined to provide further information about the case because it’s the subject of an ongoing investigation by the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation. It’s common practice for law enforcement agencies to call in the SBI to investigate use-of-force incidents involving officers, such as shootings. The SBI’s findings will be turned over to the Davidson County District Attorney, who will decide whether the shooting was justified.

a new trial, in part because the justices said the evidence was weak. Jurors acquitted Hennis in 1989, saying then that it was a quick decision for many because prosecutors couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t prove Hennis was inside the house at the time of the slayings. The case spawned a 1993 book entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innocent Victims,â&#x20AC;? which was followed by a cable television miniseries. Hennis retired from the military in 2004 and was living in Lakewood, Wash., when a detective reviewing the case said he uncovered DNA evidence that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tested in the mid-1980s. The new evidence was given to Army investigators, who recalled Hennis to active duty in 2006 and brought him back to Fort Bragg. The DNA evidence was collected from a rape kit. Hennis was also acquitted of rape, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face that charge because too much time has passed since that alleged crime occurred. Military prosecutors and Hennisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attorney Frank Spinner have refused to talk to the media about the case.

NC Medicaid starts preferred drug list program RALEIGH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; North Carolinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Medicaid office has created a list of drugs it wants physicians to prescribe as a way to discourage more expensive or less effective medications while saving tens of millions of dollars annually. The state Department of Health and Human Services announced Monday the start of a preferred drug list similar to those used by private insurers and Medicaid in most other states. Officials say

more than $90 million in federal and state money could be saved with the change. Doctors for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nearly 2 million Medicaid patients will be urged to prescribe drugs on the list â&#x20AC;&#x201C; usually generic and lower-cost brand names that have been proven effective. A physician must get prior approval from Medicaid for all other drugs, with exemptions for those to treat HIV and AIDS and certain medications for children.

WILMINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A soldier acquitted of killing a mother and two of her young daughters in North Carolina about 25 years ago is now going on trial in military court after prosecutors say new DNA tests link him to the crimes. Master Sgt. Timothy Hennis, 51, is charged with premeditated murder in the May 1985 stabbing deaths of Kathryn Eastburn and two of her daughters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 5-year-old Kara Sue and 3-year-old Erin Nicole. Opening statements in the court-martial are set for Wednesday and the death penalty trial could last up to two months, featuring 100 or more witnesses. Hennis couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be tried again in civilian court so he was charged by the military, which can pursue the case because its court system is a different jurisdiction. Hennis retired from the Army in 2004 but was recalled to active duty to face charges. Hennis, who had adopted the Eastburnsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dog several days before the killings, was arrested four days after the bodies were found when a witness who reported seeing someone in

The document authorized homicide investigators to look for evidence at a Halifax County mobile home where Antwan Maurice Pittman, 31, once lived.

Demand for ‘sound money’ eventually will return The U.S. Constitution includes no authority for the government to issue paper money. Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 5 empowers Congress to coin money and regulate its value. The phrase “coin money” might be interpreted broadly to include printing paper money were it not for another provision. Article I, Section 10, Paragraph 1 forbids states to “make anything but gold and silver coin a tender for payment of debts.” The founders had good reason to be suspicious of paper money. When the American colonies declared their independence from England the new country had no treasury. Its fledgling government had no choice but to issue paper Continental dollars to pay its war expenses. By the end of the Revolutionary War those paper dollars were worth about 10 cents in hard currency, giving rise to an expression of worthlessness – “Not worth a Continental.” Beyond their personal experience, the founders had historical examples proving that governments cannot be trusted to manage a currency whose value is based solely on government decree. The temptation to win public favor by printing more money to pay for extravagant projects and overly generous social programs is too great for politicians to resist, as we can clearly see. The real U.S. dollar was established by The Coinage Act of 1792 “to contain three hundred and seventy-one grains and four sixteenth parts of a grain of pure ... silver,” equal to 0.7734375 ounce. That is not merely a temporary equivalence, but the very definition of the dollar. When the value of the paper – or digital – dollar collapses, as it surely will in the immediate future, the impact will be felt worldwide. Then the public here and elsewhere will demand a return to the discipline of “sound money” made of or redeemable for precious metals whether governments like it or not. DON DAVIS Archdale

Where are the ‘facts’ about Obama Communists? I would like to respond to the letter written by Alan Priddy on March 3 (“Folks who want ‘facts’ should be receptive to them”). In that letter, Priddy rather rudely indicated I was unreceptive to “reviewing the facts” concerning my request of Phil Bryant to name names of the “self-avowed Communists” in the Obama administration that he mentioned in his February letter. In my letter responding to Bryant and asking for these names, I stated no political objective nor do I have one. I only made a simple request of Bryant and in turn, received a knee-jerk response from Priddy. Priddy asked that I “review the facts” about the Communists in question at his recommended Web site – www.jillosophy.blogspot. So, I did just that, and here is what I found. This site is a blog site, crafted by a 47-year-old female named Jill, no last name given, but she gives her Zodiac and birth sign. With this heavy dose of credibility, I went on to find various political opinions rendered and a short list of select government appointees/employees with comments addressing either their sexual orientation or their pro-abortion status.

Market is an economic engine

embers of High Point City Council last week asked the Guilford County Board of Commissioners to consider allocating more funds to support the twice-a-year High Point Market. It’s not the first time High Point officials have made that pitch. For years, the request has brought little, if any, action despite commissioners’ initial reaction that, yes, more county funding ought to be allocated to support the market. The problem is ... county commissioners evaluate and allocate market funding requests in an inaccurate manner – funding for the High Point Market Authority comes from a half-million dollar pot of funding earmarked for “economic development agencies” in Guilford. The problem is ... the Market Authority is not an “economic development agency.” And the High Point Market is not an economic development program – it is an economic engine for Guilford and the entire state, to the tune of $1.2 billion a year. Commissioners should evaluate High Point Market funding requests separate and apart from those of the county’s economic development agencies. The county’s level of financial support should be allocated based on the market’s proven economic benefit to Guilford County. The Market Authority gets $1 million annually from High Point and $2 million from the state. How much should Guilford’s allocation be? Certainly something greater than $75,000.

N.C. taxes job creation with excessive regulations

he biggest tax on job creation in North Carolina isn’t levied by the Department of Revenue. In fact, it isn’t levied by any single department. It’s levied by dozens of state agencies, large and small, every day. The biggest tax on our economic development is North Carolina’s antiquated, unwieldy, and expensive system of regulation. It raises the cost of buying land, breaking ground, forming contracts, hiring labor, acquiring raw materials, buying energy, shipping goods, and retailing services. For many businesses, unwise regulation costs them more that the state’s high income-tax rates do. These higher costs might be worth paying if North Carolinians received commensurate health and safety benefits for the higher prices and lower wages the regulations impose on us. But such benefits often prove illusory. In fact, in many cases, N.C. law doesn’t even require regulatory agencies to show that the projected benefits of the new rules they impose will be higher than the projected costs. There are at least three good reasons to believe that North Carolina’s regulatory system costs too much for too little gain, and that reforming it would boost our state’s competitiveness. First, North Carolina business leaders consistently point to regulation as an impediment to growth. That doesn’t mean, of course, that North Carolina should repeal a regulation just because a business finds it burdensome. The point is that politicians shouldn’t pretend regulations are costless just because the price tag doesn’t show up on the state’s books. The second reason is there are many checks on government regulation that are commonly used in other states but not in

North Carolina. For example, our state doesn’t require agencies to assess whether a regulation is likely to have a disproportionate effect on small businesses. The federal government has had such a process for 30 years , OPINION and 35 states require it. Finally, let’s zero in on the John effects of one of our state’s Hood most sweeping regulations ■■■ of the past decade: the Clean Smokestack Bill of 2002. The legislation required electric utilities to reduce emissions associated with the formation of ground-level ozone. At the time, proponents said the rules would cost $2.3 billion while producing significant improvements in air quality. Instead, as John Locke Foundation economist Roy Cordato recently demonstrated, the real cost of the Clean Smokestacks Bill will be at least $3.2 billion. As for the benefits, Cordato examined air-quality trends before and after the bill’s start date. North Carolina’s air has gotten cleaner in recent years, but so has the air in other states that didn’t pass such a bill – and North Carolina’s air quality had been improving at a similar rate before it was passed. In short, this one regulation jacked up North Carolina’s energy prices by hundreds of millions of dollars a year for no good reason. Writ large, that’s the problem with North Carolina’s regulatory system. It’s a job-destroying tax. North Carolina can’t afford such self-inflicted wounds, not with 11 percent unemployment and bleak prospects for a vibrant recovery. JOHN HOOD is president of the John Locke Foundation and publisher of CarolinaJournal.com.

The detention of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; second in the Taliban only to one-eyed Mullah Mohammed Omar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has raised new questions about whether the U.S. is willing to back peace discussions.

Mexican drug war Gangs blamed for killing 3 with American consulate ties CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Suspected drug gang hit men separately ambushed two cars carrying families with ties to the U.S. consulate in this violent border city, killing an American couple and a Mexican man. Three young children survived, although two suffered wounds. The slayings came amid a surge in bloodshed along Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s border with Texas and drew condemnation from the White House.

Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president expressed outrage and promised a fast investigation to find those responsible. Mexican authorities put suspicion on a gang of hit men allied with the Juarez drug cartel based on â&#x20AC;&#x153;information exchanged with U.S. federal agencies,â&#x20AC;? according to a statement Sunday from the joint mission of soldiers and federal police overseeing security in Ciudad Juarez. But police offered no information on a possible motive in the

Khalid bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statement accused Iranian authorities of mistreating about 30 siblings, saying they had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;beaten and repressed.â&#x20AC;? The letter, which was dated early January, appeared to have been written shortly after news reports surfaced about one of his sisters who escaped from her Iranian guards and reportedly is taking refuge in the Saudi Embassy in Tehran. It has long been believed that Iran has in custody a number of bin Ladenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children who fled Afghanistan in 2001 following the Sept. 11 terror attacks on the U.S., most notably his sons, Saad and Hamza, who were thought to have held positions in al-Qaida.

US wants Israel to cancel Jerusalem building plan JERUSALEM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Obama administration is demanding that Israel call off a contentious building project in east Jerusalem and make a public gesture toward the Palestinians to help defuse one of the worst U.S.-Israeli feuds in memory, officials on both sides said Monday. But Prime Minister Benjamin

Netanyahu showed little sign of yielding, saying Jewish construction in east Jerusalem â&#x20AC;&#x153;in no wayâ&#x20AC;? hurts Palestinians. A Jerusalem city spokesman suggested Jewish building there would continue. Announcement of the plan to build 1,600 apartments for Jews in the Ramot Shlomo neighbor-

hood came during Vice President Joe Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit last week, embarrassing him and the Obama administration, angering Palestinians and endangering the start of indirect peace negotiations that are to be mediated by a U.S. envoy. Adding to tensions was a ceremony Monday in the walled Old

City in east Jerusalem, where Jews rededicated an ancient synagogue destroyed after the war that followed Israelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creation in 1948. Israeli police sent in reinforcements to prevent riots. The synagogue is in the Jewish Quarter, but Palestinians still saw the colorful celebration as an affront.

Could thousands of dollars be collecting dust in your closet or attic? Bring your valuables on down to the Great Treasure Hunt Antique and Collectible Buy Show in High Point and leave with cash in hand! The Treasure Hunters are located at the We Buy Treasure Center from Tuesday until Saturday to pump money back into the rapidly declining economy.

Barack Obama is introduced by Connie Anderson, sister of cancer patient Natoma Canfield, who wrote the president saying she gave up her health insurance after it rose, Monday, at the Walter F. Ehrnfelt Recreation and Senior Center in Strongsville, Ohio.

Democrats start countdown toward health care vote WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; House Democrats triggered the countdown Monday for the climactic vote on President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiercely contested remake of the health care system, even though the legislation remained incomplete and lacked the votes needed to pass. Obama expressed optimism Congress would approve his call for affordable and nearly universal coverage as he pitched his plan on a trip to Ohio, and congressional leaders showed signs of progress in winning anti-abortion Democrats whose votes are pivotal. At the same time, Sen. Jim DeMint,

R-S.C., among the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharpest opponents, said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;less confidentâ&#x20AC;? than before that it could be stopped. Some pressure was aimed at Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, who flew aboard Air Force One with President Barack Obama, then walked into a senior citizen center with the chief executive in time to hear a voice from the audience yell out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vote yes.â&#x20AC;? A smiling Obama turned to the liberal lawmaker and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you hear that, Dennis?â&#x20AC;? Kucinich later said he remains uncommitted.

With unemployment reaching 11.1% in North Carolina, there is no doubt that High Point locals are in need of fast cash. The Treasure Hunters will make an offer for anything of value, so come down to the We Buy Treasure Center for a free appraisal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will sort through boxes of collectibles and bags of coins and jewelry if you let us,â&#x20AC;? says Treasure Hunter Kenny Davis, but that is not all they buy. They have purchased anything from comic books and tin toys to basketball jerseys and rare vintage guitars.

Scrap gold and coins are the most common items they buy, but there have been some interesting ďŹ nds. Just recently someone came in with an African soul washer.

Once the items are separated, we will make an offer on the items we are interested in purchasing. This offer is based on the current market value.

Club to appeal smoking ban BY DAVID NIVENS ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – The first appeal of the state’s new smoking ban may come to health officials as soon as next month, County Attorney Mark Payne said Monday. Payne told the Guilford County Board of Health that Gate City Billiards Country Club in Greensboro is expected to test the new law which bans smoking in restaurants and bars. The establishment wants to claim private club status, Payne said. The new law requires an appeal to the health board following several citations. “We have less than a dozen establishments who are

repeat offenders and this one wants to test the law with an appeal,” Payne said. “The billiards club changed its name, adding country. The law exempts country clubs as a subset of private clubs. This club does not meet the private club criteria.” The establishment is located at 6004 Landmark Center Blvd., near the Wendover Avenue and I-40 intersections. North Carolina became the first southeastern state to completely prohibit smoking in restaurants and bars. However, the state law does not prohibit smoking in private workplaces. The health board may hear the state’s first appeal of the smoking ban, said

Guilford County Tobacco Prevention Coordinator Mary Gillett. “This will set a precedent for the law in the state,” she said. G.S. 130A-497 makes virtually all indoor areas of restaurants and bars in the state smoke-free. An estimated 24,000 establishments statewide are covered by the new law. Among neighboring states, only South Carolina has no public bans on smoking. Payne said the health board will act as a quasi-judicial body to hear evidence and then issue a ruling. “From that any appeal would go to the courts,” he said. Health workers have visited bars and restau-

Looking for green Businesses have high hopes for St. Patrick’s Day BY PAM HAYNES ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

HIGH POINT – Don’t forget to pull your selection of green clothing out of the closet tonight in preparation for tomorrow if you want to experience the luck o’ the Irish. Or at least if you want to avoid those pesky pinches. St. Patrick’s Day this year may be a little greener as the National Retail Federation predicts the

average consumer will spend $33.05, up slightly from $32.80, on the holiday that celebrates the patron saint of Ireland. Local restaurants are gearing up for one of their busiest nights with drink and food specials including Irish beers and cuisine. Restaurant managers are hoping large crowds will pour through their doors despite economic conditions. “Typically those who

Main St. “It’s a reason to go out with your friends and have a good time.” Harrison’s will offer live music on Thursday night with special dishes including cabbage, corned beef and shepherd’s pie. The patio will be open, and

bottles of Bud Light will be $1.50. Drew Wyatt, general manager at JP Looneys on Samet Drive, said the restaurant will commemorate St. Patrick’s Day with $2 green Miller Lights and other Irish beers, including Guinness. Appetizers will be half price after 11 p.m., and the restaurant closes at 2 a.m. Wyatt said the fact

that the holiday falls on a Wednesday this year could bring larger crowds. “The later the holiday comes in the week is always better,” he said. “It’s Wednesday, so people will feel like their work for the week is at least halfway done.” Liberty Steakhouse on Mall Loop Road will offer a corned beef and cabbage

special for $8.95, and their lager beer will be dyed green. Party favors and holiday decor at Target, which included hats, T-shirts and socks, were expected to sell about the same as last year, said Joe Harmon, sales floor executive for the store, also on Mall Loop Road.

Peter Graves poses during dedication ceremonies for his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

TV, film star Peter Graves dies LOS ANGELES (AP) – Peter Graves, whose calm and intelligent demeanor was a good fit to the intrigue of “Mission Impossible” as well as the satire of the “Airplane” films, has died. Graves passed away Sunday just a few days before his 84th birthday outside his home in Los Angeles, publicist Sandy Brokaw said. Graves was returning from brunch with his wife of nearly 60 years and his family when he had what Graves’ doctor believed was a heart attack, Brokaw said. Graves first gained attention of many baby boomers with the 1950s TV series “Fury,” but remained best known for the role of Jim Phelps, leader of a gang of special agents who battled evil conspirators in TV’s “Mission: Impossible.” Normally cast as a hero, he turned in an unforgettable performance early in his career as the treacherous Nazi spy in the 1953 prisoner-of-war drama “Stalag 17.” He also masterfully lampooned his straight-arrow image when he portrayed bumbling airline pilot Clarence Oveur in the 1980 spoof “Airplane!” Graves appeared in dozens of films and a handful of TV shows in a career of nearly 60 years.

LEXINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A school bus crash in Davidson County Monday morning injured three people and sent seven special-needs students to the hospital for observation, according to WXII 12 News.

NC pension funds to invest in state businesses DURHAM (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The North Carolina official responsible for managing the state employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pension fund is branching out in a search for investment returns that also boost up-and-coming companies. State Treasurer Janet Cowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said Monday it hired Swit-

Paul Worth Brewer LYNCHBURG, Va. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Paul Worth Brewer, 81, of Lynchburg, passed away Monday, March 15, 2010, in Virginia Baptist Hospital after an extended illness. He was the husband of Peggy Lassiter Brewer for 60 years. Born August 18, 1928, in High Point, North Carolina, he was a son of the late Hal Worth and Minnie Manning Brewer. He was a graduate of High Point University and received his Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

hy do most people exercise? To lose weight. There are, however, many more reasons to make exercise part of a regular routine, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to lose weight. Another common reason people exercise is for physical benefits. Exercise builds stronger muscles, including the heart and lungs. This is a great benefit for people of all fitness levels. It allows us to have greater muscle coordination and better balance, and it also helps us build endurance so we have more energy to accomplish more throughout the day. Exercise includes a number of health benefits you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see on the outside. Regular cardiovascular exercise can help reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides and even raise HDL (good) cholesterol. Exercise also helps reduce or prevent high blood pressure. Controlling cholesterol and blood pressure as soon as possible can mean less money spent on medications. Additionally, exercise helps reduce platelet adhesiveness and clotting, to prevent future blockages. Statistically, higher fitness and activity levels are associated with lower death rates due to coronary heart disease and lower incidence of coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, osteoporotic fractures, colon and breast cancer and gallbladder disease. Exercise is associated with a number of mental benefits, and it can help reduce anxiety and depression. Mood, wellbeing and self-esteem increase with regular exercise. Best of all, exercise is a great way to manage or relieve stress. Exercise helps with cognitive abilities. Those who exercise at least three days per week are at 32 percent less risk of developing Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. The Nurses Health Study found that 70- to 80-year-old women who walk at least three days per week have better memory and attention and a 20 percent lower risk of cognitive impairment. Men have a lower risk of dementia and Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease when they walk at least two miles per day. Exercise does more than help you lose weight and look good. It helps you feel better mentally and physically. You are healthier, have more energy and will maintain independence longer. So, is it worth 30 minutes of your day?

Wesleyan students raise money for Haiti relief Students at Wesleyan Christian Academy raised $3,200 for Haiti relief, and the money was matched by High Point Community Foundation, for a total of $6,400.

Students, mostly in middle and upper school, decided to raise money after they saw a video at the weekly chapel service about the effects of earth-

quakes in Haiti. The matching dollars came from one of the 62 Donor Advised Funds the High Point Community Foundation manages.

Age doesn’t bar organ donation

ear Dr. Donohue: I am an 80-yearold woman who declares herself an organ donor every time she renews her driver’s license. Is there a cutoff age when organs are not longer usable? – D.W.

BLONDIE

If more people felt the way you do, the long lists of patients waiting for organ transplants would disappear. More than 100,000 people are waiting for an organ, but only around 25,000 organs are actually donated yearly. The answer to your question is that you are never too old to be a donor. The acceptability of an organ is determined at the time of a volunteer’s death. Signing the organ donation request on your driver’s license is an excellent idea. However, it’s most important to get your name on your state’s organ registry. That department is notified at the time of your death. Your local public health officials should aid you in finding out how this is done. A nearby hospital most likely has an organ procurement official who also can guide you in this process. Carry with you the organ donation card that will come your way when you sign up. Make sure you tell your relatives of your desire to donate. Often, at the time of death, neither a person’s driver’s license nor organ donation card is with him or her when the next of kin is asked for permission to obtain organs.

and Human Services has a Web site, www. organdonor.gov, and a tollfree phone HEALTH number, 888-275Dr. Paul 4772, where Donohue you can ■■■ obtain information on how to donate organs. The Living Bank, a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging organ donors, has a Web site, www.livingbank.org, and a toll-free number, 800-528-2971, where information also is obtainable. Dear Dr. Donohue: I would like to know more about reflex sympathetic dystrophy, now called complex regional pain syndrome. My wife’s doctor said it would take her 12 months to get over it. I retired four years ago and am now having trouble walking, and the trouble worsens every year. – F.W. If you’re suggesting that your walking problem is complex regional pain syndrome, it most likely is not. CRPS occurs after an injury, like a sprained ankle or a broken wrist, for example. When the injured patient develops CRPS, the pain doesn’t go away in the usually expected time span. The pain often worsens, and swelling and reddened skin remain for months – three or more. Then the skin takes on a shiny appearance, and pain persists. This phase lasts another three or

more months. In the final phase, the skin thins, swelling leaves, adjacent muscles wither and the pain lingers. The hand or foot can become contorted in a bent position. Adjacent bones lose their calcium. This is a nightmare for both patient and doctor. A reflex arc between the injury site and the brain causes the persistent pain and other changes. Physical and occupational therapy, when started early, often can terminate this process more rapidly. About 75 percent of CRPS patients are free of pain in a year or so. Pain medicines, quite naturally, are essential elements in treatment. I don’t know what’s causing your walking trouble. Dear Dr. Donohue: The story of the young girl with daily headaches is familiar to me. My wife had the same problem for many years. She compared ingredients of two similar foods, but different brands. She would get a headache eating one but not the other. The difference was that the headache-causing brand had sulfites in it. She carefully looked for sulfites in all her foods and eliminated them. She hasn’t had a headache since. – G.L. Thanks for the information. Sulfites are preservatives added to some foods. They’re often in red wines. Asthma is the most frequent reaction in people who are allergic to sulfites. However, some people do get a migrainelike headache. Readers will appreciate this tip.

’I’ve lost 85 pounds, so there’s this freedom I’ve been able to experience, and I guess I want that to be contagious.’ Mandisa

SPECIAL | HPE

Mandisa, a 2006 “American Idol” contestant, will perform Saturday at First Wesleyan Church at Providence Place.

No idle career Former ‘Idol’ contestant turns to contemporary Christian music BY JIMMY TOMLIN ENTERPRISE STAFF WRITER

IGH POINT – She may not be the “American Idol,” but Mandisa – now a popular Christian vocalist – is making good use of her “Idol” time. “You want to win – I would’ve liked to make it further – but when I look back now, it really doesn’t matter, because I am sooo doing what I should be doing,” the former “American Idol” contestant says during a telephone interview from her home in Nashville, Tenn. Mandisa, who competed on “Idol” during the 2006 season – against the likes of Chris

‘As soon as my first album came out, it was always Mandisa from “Idol,” and it always will be, and that’s fine. People wouldn’t know who I am if not for “Idol.”’ Mandisa Daughtry, Kellie Pickler and eventual winner Taylor Hicks – finished ninth among the 12 finalists that season, then quickly moved on to her career as a contemporary Christian singer. She’ll perform Saturday evening at First Wesleyan Church at Providence Place, kicking off the church’s 2010 Compassion Performing Arts Series. Mandisa says she’s been singing her whole life, but she didn’t grow up singing in the church. “I came to the Lord when I was 16, and I started singing in church after that point,”

WANT TO GO?

Mandisa will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday at First Wesleyan Church at Providence Place, 1701 Westchester Drive. The concert will kick off the church’s 2010 Compassion Performing Arts Series, with net proceeds benefiting High Point Community Against Violence and the Refugee Welcome Network. Tickets are $15, $25 and $30 and are available locally at the church, Bicycle Toy & Hobby Sales, and Oak Hollow Thrift Store. Tickets can also be ordered online at www.itickets.com or by calling (800) 965-9324. For more information, call 884-1111.

she says, “but before that, it was more me singing in the bathroom with my Whitney Houston tapes.” By the time she auditioned for “American Idol,” she was already performing with a worship team at Christian women’s conferences, but performing on “Idol” made Mandisa a household name, and she’s nothing but thankful. “It meant just about everything (to my career),” Mandisa says. “Regardless of what kind of music you go into, even if it’s Christian music, people watch ‘Idol.’ As soon as my first album came out, it was always Mandisa from ‘Idol,’ and it always will be, and that’s fine. People wouldn’t know who I am if not for ‘American Idol.’” Mandisa’s debut album, “True Beauty,” and the follow-up, “Freedom,” received Grammy nominations for Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album of the Year. She’s also been nominated for several Dove Awards – presented by the Gospel Music Associa-

tion – including Female Vocalist of the Year. “I love being nominated – it just shows that people are getting what you’re doing,” Mandisa says. “With the Dove Awards, these are people in my industry, so it means a lot. With the Grammys, you get people paying attention who are not in the music industry. I could tell Simon Cowell I’ve been nominated for a Dove Award, and he’d say, ‘Huh?’ But I could tell him I have a Grammy nomination, and he’d be more impressed with that.” Speaking of Cowell, Mandisa had an interesting relationship with the sometimes acerbic “American Idol” judge. Cowell made negative comments about the singer’s weight – comments that aired on TV – but later apologized and became one of her biggest supporters. Since then, Mandisa says she has lost a lot of weight, and she has made her weight struggles part of her ministry. “My last album was titled ‘Freedom,’ because I believe that’s what God is doing in my life now – He’s been setting me free from a lifelong battle with food,” she says. “I’ve lost 85 pounds, so there’s this freedom I’ve been able to experience, and I guess I want that to be contagious. I have a heart for people who struggle with food-related addictions, and I want to let the world know you’re able to be set free from this.” Mandisa also has a special ministry for women. “I have a real heart for women – for who we are, for what we go through, for what society tells us we should be,” she says. “I want women to know their power and not let society dictate to them what they should be. Other than that, I just want people to have a good time and be entertained.”

The Dusty Joy Foundation, a new nonprofit cultivating compassion for those touched by lung cancer, will be the nonprofit partner of the inaugural Wake Forest University Healthcare Conference at 7 p.m. Friday, at the Worrell Professional Center on the university’s Reynolda campus. Dusty Donaldson of High Point, a lung cancer survivor and the foundation’s executive director, will present “Smokescreen,” a brief multimedia presentation about lung cancer, followed by an introduction to the organization and its mission. A balloon release in the courtyard in front of the Worrell Professional Center will follow formal presentations. This balloon release will be the foundation’s inaugural event. The conference will feature other speakers, including Sen. Richard Burr and Dr. Anthony Atala, director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine. Teams of graduate students from area universities will participate in a case competition addressing a health-care problem. The winning team will receive $5,000. The foundation will hold a rally and balloon release in every county across North Carolina and will expand to other states next year. The mission of the Dusty Joy Foundation is to cultivate compassion for those touched by lung cancer through targeted programs promoting education, awareness and advocacy. The foundation will help pave the way for increased research funding, Donaldson says.

Tuesday, March 16, 2010 CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Judah Friedlander, 41; Lauren Graham, 43; Victor Garber, 61; Bernardo Bertolucci, 70 HAPPY BIRTHDAY: Learn to relax and enjoy what life has to offer. Your impulsiveness will only get you into trouble this year, so think first in order to avoid costly personal and professional mistakes. Don’t let someone limit what you can do for others. Let no one stand in your way or cause you to neglect your relationships or obligations. Your numbers are 8, 15, 25, 27, 32, 38, 40 ARIES (March 21-April 19): Nothing will be too much trouble for you. Do not travel off the beaten trail. Stick to what you know and what you promised to do. Love is in the stars but, if it’s with someone who’s married, take a pass. ★★★ TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid any unnecessary dealings with officials, authority figures, banks or hospitals. Concentrate on what you can do for others. Don’t limit the possibilities because you lack confidence. ★★★ GEMINI (May 21-June 20): It’s the presence you have when you are passionate about something that will attract some interesting offers. You have the potential to make a difference but you cannot do it alone. Call upon people who owe you favors. ★★★★ CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t let anyone force you to take on a responsibility that clearly does not belong to you. Avoid meddling in other people’s affairs or letting someone interfere with yours. An older relative may need your help. ★★ LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be ready to make a commitment or to show someone you care about that you are serious. Plan your next vacation or get involved in an interest course. Activities that require physical endurance or competition will lift your spirits. ★★★★★ VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Someone looking for a handout may be taking advantage of you. Taking on someone else’s misfortune will not solve the problem and it will cause you grief. Listen and make suggestions but don’t pay for someone else’s mistakes. ★★★ LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Partnership problems can be expected. Keep a close watch but don’t make a move just yet. You have to get all the facts and work out a game plan. You will do best if you put your efforts into something creative or a job that can bring you benefits. ★★★ SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Your ideas, coupled with the new connections you’ve made, will enable you to promote your talent and a project into which you have put so much time and effort. Sudden good fortune is heading in your direction. ★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Focus on home, family and being the best you can be. If you don’t want to invite criticism or negative responses, don’t procrastinate or fail to honor your promises. Property enhancement or a geographical move looks favorable. ★★★★★ CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You can make some changes that will help set you apart from the competition. Don’t let emotional matters disrupt your plans or your productivity. A lesson you learned in the past will help to keep you on course now. ★★ AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Before you settle back and accomplish little, finish a job or project that needs completing. Rely on past experience to guide you. Change is required and, if you do your homework, you will know exactly what’s required. ★★★★ PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): It’s time to make changes that will lead to greater financial independence. Start saving and stop spending foolishly. If the price ticket for socializing is too high, suggest a night at home with someone you enjoy. ★★★

TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

Cy the Cynic says the function of wisdom is to keep you out of situations where you’ll need it. Today’s declarer won the first club with the ace and took the A-K of trumps. The Q-J fell, but South still had work to do. He tried cashing the king of clubs and exiting with a club, but East put up the ten and switched to hearts. West took two hearts and led a third heart. South ruffed and won a diamond finesse with the jack, but when the ace failed to drop the king, he lost a diamond.

DISCARDS South could have succeeded after he took the ace of clubs. He could run his trumps, forcing West into losing discards. But South got into a sticky situation when he won the first club. He’d have been wise to duck, preparing an end play. South wins the next club and cashes the top trumps and the other high club. He leads a trump to his hand, finesses with the jack of diamonds, takes the ace and exits with a diamond. West must give South his king of hearts or concede a ruff-sluff.

DAILY QUESTION You hold: S A K 9 8 3 H K 3 D Q 7 5 C 8 7 3. With both sides vulnerable, your partner opens one heart, and the next player overcalls one spade. What do you say? ANSWER: You’d like to defend against one spade doubled, but if your partnership uses “negative doubles,” as most modern experts do, you can’t double for penalty. Pass. If the next player also passes, your partner will usually be obliged to reopen with a double, and you’ll pass. West dealer Neither side vulnerable

ONE STAR: It’s best to avoid conflicts; work behind the scenes or read a good book. Two stars: You can accomplish but don’t rely on others for help. Three stars: If you focus, you will reach your goals. Four stars: You can pretty much do as you please, a good time to start new projects. Five stars: Nothing can stop you now. Go for the gold.

Wake seniors eager for NCAA play

WHO’S NEWS

---

BY GREER SMITH ENTERPRISE SPORTS WRITER

WINSTON-SALEM – Wake Forest’s seniors are under the gun in providing leadership. Demon Deacon coach Dino Gaudio believes that success in the NCAA Tournament comes down to “emotion, energy and toughness” – qualities Wake did not exhibit in their blowout in the ACC quarterfinals by Miami. Wake came out listless and without much energy, outhustled from the start. “You have to be excited and enthused to play (in NCAA games), and it’s got to manifest itself out on the floor,” Gaudio said. “I really think from the shoulders up is more important than the shoulders down.” That’s where Gaudio is counting on seniors Ish Smith, Chas McFarland, L.D. Williams and David Weaver as they get ready to play Texas in a firstround game Thursday in New Orleans. “We have four seniors and they’ve been around the block,” Gaudio said. “They played in the ACC Tournament for four years and they’ve played in the NCAA Tournament. This is their finale. They’ve got to bring the energy and emotion. Coach-driven teams only go so far. The player-driven teams take off and win championships. “I think they’ve taken ownership of this. When our name popped up on the screen (during Sunday night’s announcement of the field), they were excited and hugging each other. It’s time now to play.” The Miami loss was Wake’s fifth in its last six game after climbing into the top-25 polls. Gaudio thought the Deacons played well in a loss at Florida State and a victory in the regular-season finale against Clemson before the Miami loss. “For us now, it’s a confidence thing and I’m going to do my best to instill confidence in these young men,” Gaudio said. Sophomore forward Al-Farouq Aminu blamed pain from a hand injury as the reason for an airballed free throw and other woes against Miami. “He did have some pain,” Gaudio said. “He shot the airball because he got slapped on the hand. We had the hand X-rayed Sunday. It came back completely negative which means he is fine.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

North Carolina coach Roy Williams and guard Dexter Strickland (5) sit dejectedly on the bench in the second half of the Tar Heels’ 68-51 loss at Georgia Tech in this Feb 16 photo. UNC looks to turn those frowns upside down starting with tonight’s first-round NIT game against visiting William & Mary in historic Carmichael Auditorium.

UNC welcomes William & Mary A

.500 season following a national championship didn’t put North Carolina coach Roy Williams in the mood to call it quits after Friday’s loss to Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals. “As a coach, I’ve got to coach today, not wait until next season,” Williams said. “Who knows what happens tomorrow?” Williams will get his chance to coach today when the Tar Heels (16-16) take on William & Mary in Carmichael Auditorium at 9:30 p.m. It will be UNC’s first game in Carmichael since moving to the Smith Center in 1986. William & Mary (22-10) is coached by High Point native Tony Shaver, who played for Carolina from 197275. UNC dropped out of contention for an NCAA berth by losing 12 of its last 17 games. “We turned the ball over way too much and we didn’t make shots,” Williams said. Many of the mistakes the Tar Heels made late in the season were the same as those they made at the start of the season. “I just didn’t do as good of a job as I need to do,” Williams said. “I couldn’t get the right buttons pushed. I didn’t know what those buttons were. It’s the most inad-

equate that I’ve ever felt as a coach.” Williams’ previous worst season, including his years at Kansas, was 19-12. This is the first time in 21 seasons that one of his teams failed to SPORTS qualify for the NCAA when it was eligible. Greer “It’s very frustratSmith ing,” Williams said. ■■■ “I’ve got wonderful kids. It’s the kind of year I thought I’d never imagine. I hope I never have to go through another like this.” Since losing to Georgia Tech, Williams said he went to see three of his recruits for next season play. “I’ve been miserable,” Williams said. “I’ve been like a spoiled brat and taken my ball and gone home. I don’t think I watched a (college) game. I haven’t been a good fan.” Williams did say that injuries have played a factor in the inconsistent play. “Of our top eight or nine guys, we’ve missed (the equivalent) of 37 games,” Williams said. “It’s been a bigger factor than I thought it should be. But we didn’t play the way we should have.” The Tribe won at Maryland and at Wake Forest this season. They like

to take 3-point shots. Out of their 1,670 field-goal attempts, 798 have been from behind the arc. Their top scorer, David Schneider (15.3 points), has taken two-thirds of his attempts from 3-point range. Their other double-figure scorers, Quinn McDowell and Danny Sumner, have taken about half their shots from 3-point land. “It’s my understanding they pretty much put five guys on the perimeter,” Williams said. “They don’t have much of an inside game.” Williams said he hopes that playing in the NIT will give the Tar Heels something positive to build upon as they look toward next year. “I told them the story that South Carolina beat us for the ACC championship in 1971, so we didn’t go to the NCAA Tournament that year,” Williams said. “A bunch of students met us when we got back to campus and Steve Previs got off the bus and told them that we were going to win the NIT, and we did. The next year, Bob McAdoo came in and we went to the Final Four.” Until this season is over, Williams isn’t thinking about the future. “Right now, I’m coaching to win one game in the NIT,” he said. “And if we win that one, then I’m coaching to win the next one.” gsmith@hpe.com | 888-3519

JRM wants to run Patrick’s car for entire Nationwide season MOORESVILLE (AP) – JR Motorsports will try to race the full Nationwide Series schedule with the No. 7 Chevrolet. The car is the second entry in JRM’s organization, and was only

scheduled to run 13 races this year with Danica Patrick. But JRM co-owner Tony Eury Jr. says the team is too good not to be at the track every weekend. The car will go to Bristol Motor Speedway

this weekend with Scott Wimmer as the scheduled driver. Wimmer is also scheduled to drive the car April 3 at Nashville. Patrick drove the car in the first three Nationwide races of the season.

HIT AND RUN

---

hen I heard a veteran South African golfer captured the CA Championship at Doral on Sunday, Gary Player was the first name that popped into my head. I had completely forgotten about Ernie Els. I doubt I was alone. The 40-year-old Els snapped a two-year victory drought – the longest of his career – with a convincing four-stroke triumph over fellow countryman Charl Schwartzel. His victory in the PGA/World Golf Championship Series event earned him

$1.4 million, and moved him past Colin Montgomerie to the top of the PGA European Tour career money list with about $33.6 million. It marked the 17th PGA Tour win for Els and his 61st worldwide victory overall. Make no mistake. Els has enjoyed a fine career. But the three-time major champion has been lost in the Tiger Woods shuffle for many years now. I expected seven or eight major wins from Els after watching him capture the

1994 U.S. Open as a 24-year-old phenom. But that was a couple of years before Tiger exploded on the major scene and relegated everyone – including the Big Easy – to minor roles. Perhaps Els will add another major or two to the pair of U.S. Opens and British Open titles he already owns. A few more performances like the one at Doral will surely return his name to the tip of more golf fans’ tongues.

Charlotte fired coach Bobby Lutz on Monday after his 12th year at his alma mater was marred by a late-season collapse and a costly blunder in a first-round loss in the Atlantic 10 tournament. Chancellor Philip Dubois said in a statement that the move was in the “longterm interest of 49ers basketball and the university as a whole.” Lutz leaves as the school’s all-time winningest coach with a 218-158 mark and with four years left on his contract. Lutz was promoted to coach in 1998 after three years as an assistant and led the 49ers to the NCAA tournament in five of his first seven seasons. But the 49ers haven’t been back to the NCAAs since 2005.

DURHAM (AP) – Once again, there’s no shortage of subplots in Duke’s NCAA tournament bracket. The Blue Devils, who claimed the No. 2 seed in the Memphis Regional on Monday night, could face an interesting path to their fifth Final Four. Duke (27-5) will play No. 15 seed Hampton on Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium in a first-round matchup with the winner advancing to face either No. 7 seed LSU or No. 10 seed Hartford. One possible opponent in the regional semifinals is No. 6 seed Texas – and coach Gail Goestenkors, who left Duke for the Longhorns after the 2006-07 season. It’s the second straight year the selection committee placed the Blue Devils and Longhorns in the same corner of the bracket, but that matchup didn’t materialize last year. “You can’t think that far ahead anyway,” senior Joy Cheek said. After that, if the seeds hold, the Blue Devils would have to beat No. 1 seed Tennessee to claim their first Final Four spot since 2006. Duke won four of six meetings with the Lady Vols during the previous six seasons, but they did not play this year. The Blue Devils, who are making their 16th straight NCAA appearance and 17th overall, are seeded No. 2 for the first time since 2005. They claimed No. 1 seeds three times from 2006-09 and are one of six ACC teams in the field.

Wolfpack returns to NCAAs in Harper’s first season RALEIGH (AP) – Kellie Harper got her wish. The N.C. State players who had been through so much before her arrival are headed back to the NCAA tournament. The Wolfpack earned a No. 9 seed and will travel to Minneapolis to face UCLA on Sunday in the Kansas City regional. It’s a big step for a program that was picked to finish ninth in the Atlantic Coast Conference in the preseason, let alone the 32-year-old coach who is following late Hall of Famer Kay Yow. The players she inherited played through grief following Yow’s death last year, then went through the unsettling coaching change that saw Yow’s longtime assistants depart to make room for Harper’s staff. “The last few years they have been through a lot and they’ve been resilient,” the first-year

coach said Monday night. “This year they were still going through something with the coaching change, and they’ve shown a lot of resiliency and a lot of faith and stuck together. They’ve done everything we asked them to do and they were definitely rewarded for it.” N.C. State (20-13) is in the tournament for the 21st time, but it had missed the tournament the past two seasons since an emotion-fueled run to the round of 16 in 2007 under Yow. Harper and her players gathered at a Raleigh restaurant to watch the selection show Monday night with fans, who gave a huge cheer when N.C. State’s name came up on the board. Those fans also gave a hearty boo when rival North Carolina also made the tournament field.

UNC women squeak into NCAA field CHAPEL HILL (AP) – North Carolina managed to return to the NCAA tournament despite its late-season struggles. The Tar Heels earned a No. 10 seed and will travel to Seattle to face Gonzaga on Saturday night in the Sacramento regional. North Carolina (19-11) has reached the tournament for nine straight years, but its fate was in question as losing seven of eight games coming down the stretch. North Carolina helped itself by upsetting Duke in the season finale, but it lost to Maryland in the first round of the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament a few days later. The Tar Heels were ranked as high as fourth early this season. Junior Cetera DeGraffenreid said it was “pretty nerve-racking” waiting to find out if the Tar Heels would get in the tournament.

UConn women earn top overall seed THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Connecticut’s path to another perfect season could include a renewal of the most heated rivalry in women’s college basketball. The undefeated Huskies earned the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament Monday night and will open against Southern in Norfolk, Va. Geno Auriemma’s Huskies have won an

NCAA record 72 straight games, but none of them have come against Pat Summitt’s Lady Vols. The two pre-eminent teams in the sport broke off their annual matchup in 2007 in a testy split. The teams could meet in the national semifinals in San Antonio if both come through their regions. Stanford and Nebraska earned the other No. 1 seeds. The Huskies (33-0) have won by an average of 35 points this season.

Lamely takes Puerto Rico Open RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Derek Lamely had to contend with a rain-delayed start, slow play on a soggy course, and tamping down his inevitable nerves as he inched closer to notching his first win as a rookie on the PGA Tour. But the 29-year-old American emerged out of the pack with easygoing style, shooting a 66 Monday to win the Puerto Rico Open by two strokes. He finished at 19-under-par 269, setting a tournament record at Trump International Golf Club-Puerto Rico, a scenic palm-fringed 7,526-yard course which was deluged by rain early in the compe-

tition. Kris Blanks shot a 69 and finished alone in second at 271. The victory was worth $630,000 to Lamely along with PGA playing privileges through 2012. Lamely vaulted up the leaderboard during Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third round by shooting a course record 9-under 63. Lamely, who finished at 1:30 p.m., had to watch his competitors for more than two hours to see if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be overtaken or forced into a playoff. He watched the TV broadcast with his caddy from the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media room as dozens of players congregated outside the clubhouse.

Beckham sidelined with torn Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tendon TURKU, Finland (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Beckhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; tendon was totally torn, and the doctor who performed the surgery said the England midfielder is expected to be out of action for about six months. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is doing well and the operation lasted just under an hour. It

went very well,â&#x20AC;? Dr. Sakari Orava told The Associated Press after the operation at the Mehilainen clinic in Turku, southwestern Finland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will have to take it very easy during the next two to three weeks or a month, and then he will continue with a recuperation program

slowly. The foot wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take much strain for two to three months.â&#x20AC;? Orava also said it would be â&#x20AC;&#x153;four months to runningâ&#x20AC;? and another two months before playing. Beckhamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spokesman, Simon Oliveira, said the tendon was completely repaired.

Kansas closes as the unanimous No. 1 CASH FOR GOLD

Kansas was on top of the preseason poll and the Jayhawks were in the same spot in the seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final Top 25. The Jayhawks, the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament, were a unanimous pick Monday, their 15th week this season on top of the rankings. That matches Kansas in 1996-97 and Illinois in 2004-05 for the most weeks at No. 1 in a season since Duke ran the table in 1991-92. Kansas (32-2) received all the first-place votes from the 65-member national media panel and was on top for the second straight week. The Jayhawks were No. 1 in the preseason poll and for the first eight weeks of the season until losing at Tennessee. They had another four-week stretch at No. 1 ended by a loss at Oklahoma State. This is the second time Kansas was No. 1 in the final poll. In 1996-97, the Jay-

hawks went into the NCAA tournament as the top-ranked team and they lost to Arizona in the round of 16. While the top of the poll didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change much at No. 1 in 2009-10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with Texas, Kentucky and Syracuse also reaching No. 1 for a total of four weeks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a record 53 teams were ranked at some point in the season. That broke the record of 49 teams in 2007-08. Kentucky, Duke and Syracuse, the other No. 1 seeds, were second through fourth this week. This was the 13th time in the last 14 seasons Duke was ranked in the top 10 in the final poll. Ohio State was fifth followed by West Virginia, Kansas State, New Mexico, Villanova and Purdue. Butler led the second 10 followed by Temple, Michigan State, Georgetown, Tennessee, Wisconsin, BYU, Pittsburgh, Baylor and Maryland. The last five ranked teams were Vanderbilt, Gonzaga, Texas A&M, Richmond and Xavier.

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Boulder. Denver. El Paso. Akron. Tempe. Ann Arbor. Atlanta. Stillwater. Columbia. Eugene. And Manhattan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as in Kansas, not New York. Arkansas-Pine Bluff went on a brutal barnstorming tour to open the season. The Golden Lions visited 10 states in two months, seeing everything there is to see from the Great Lakes to the West Coast and the Deep South. And, where did it get them? Nowhere, really. When the calendar changed, the Golden Lions were 0-11 and seemed to have about as much direction as a broken compass. They eventually found their way and are finishing in the one place theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never been â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the NCAA tournament. The Golden Lions (17-15) play Winthrop (19-13) in the opening round tonight at the University of Dayton Arena, the annual game between the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two lowest seeds. The winner plays Duke, the No. 1 seed in the South Regional, on Friday in Jacksonville, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the few places that the Golden Lions missed on the opening jaunt that nearly did them in. Winthrop opened the season 4-9. The Eagles won 14 of their last 18 games to reach the NCAA tournament for the ninth time since 1999.

FCC unveiling broadband plan WASHINGTON (AP) – Communications regulators are unveiling a sweeping proposal to overhaul U.S. broadband policy. Their aim: to bring affordable, high-speed Internet connections to all Americans and make access much faster for people who already have broadband. Yet it’s not certain the Federal Communications Commission can find the funding, corporate support and legal clearance to carry out the entire vision of the plan. Already, broadcasters oppose one key element of the proposal, which calls for reclaiming some airwaves now in the hands of TV stations and instead selling those frequencies to compa-

Bausch & Lomb gets new CEO ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Two former Schering-Plough Corp. executives have taken charge at Bausch & Lomb Inc., whose chief executive retired after guiding the optical products maker through the aftermath of a devastating recall of its flagship contact lens cleaner. Bausch & Lomb said Monday that Brent Saunders, 40, has been appointed CEO and Fred Hassan, 63, was named chairman. Saunders was president of ScheringPlough’s consumer health care unit and Hassan was the drugmaker’s CEO and chairman until it was bought in November by Merck & Co. for $41.1 billion.

Oil falls to nearly $79 on demand fears NEW YORK – Oil prices tumbled to near $79 a barrel Monday, dragged down by a stronger dollar and increasing investor concerns about energy demand. Energy prices fell across the board, with benchmark crude contracts for April delivery sliding $1.65 to $79.59 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Continental Airlines to charge for food ATLANTA – Continental Airlines is ending free hamburgers, barbecue and sandwich rolls for many of its passengers in favor of a food-for-sale program that mirrors what other carriers are already doing.

nies that deliver wireless Internet access. And the FCC hopes to modernize the federal program that subsidizes telephone service in poor and rural areas – something that Congress and federal regulators have been trying to do for years. The FCC plan, mandated by last year’s stimulus bill and being delivered to Congress today, lays out an ambitious vision for wiring the entire country with broadband. It reflects the Obama administration’s position that high-speed Internet access is no longer just a luxury but is critical for economic development, education and health care. “To me, broadband is an infrastructure challenge that’s very akin to what

we’ve faced in the past with telephones and electricity,” FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said in an interview with The Associated Press. Genachowski has made the national broadband plan his top priority, and his legacy at the commission will be linked closely to the plan’s success or failure. The proposal sets a goal of connecting 100 million U.S. households to broadband connections of 100 megabits per second – at least 20 times faster than most home connections now – by 2020. The plan also calls for every American community to have at least one anchor institution, such as a school, library or hospital, that has ultra-high-speed Internet access.

Census jobs remain available NEW YORK (AP) – If you don’t mind going door to door and asking strangers some personal questions, you may have a future as a Census worker. Despite a massive hiring push, the Census Bureau still hasn’t reached recruiting goals in certain pockets of the country. The agency is particularly short on workers who can speak Spanish and other languages spoken in immigrant communities. The hope is to get another 63,500 recruits in place for canvassing work that begins in May, to reach the total recruitment goal of 635,000. The work can last up to eight weeks, and entails knocking on the doors of those who don’t mail back their 2010 census forms. The idea is to spend 10 minutes at each house and collect answers to 10 questions. Pay varies depending on the region; it can be as high as $22 an hour in California, or as low as $10

in Tennessee. Workers get four days of paid training, and paychecks are issued on a weekly basis. The hours are flexible, although workers are generally asked to visit homes during evenings and weekends when people are more likely to be home. You would get reimbursed if you have to drive or take public transit as part of the work. If it sounds like good temporary or part-time work, call your local Census office and ask if it’s still seeking applicants. The phone number for your local office can be found on the Census Bureau Web site at www.census.gov. If it’s still recruiting, you’ll be scheduled to go in for about an hour-anda-half to fill out paperwork and take a 30-minute test. The questions test clerical skills, such as alphabetizing names, arranging dates chronologically and grouping records by sex or Social Security number.

Homebuilder sentiment index falls LOS ANGELES (AP) – The National Association of Home Builders says its housing market index slipped in March, as harsh winter weather and competition from foreclosed properties hurt builders’ sales prospects. The Washington-based trade association said Monday its index slipped two points to 15, back to its January level. Readings below 50 indicate negative sentiment

about the market. The last time the index was above 50 was in April 2006. The report reflects a survey of 477 residential developers nationwide. The reading for current sales conditions also slipped two points to 15. The index measuring foot traffic from prospective buyers fell two points to 10, while the index for sales expectations over the next six months fell three points to 24.

Stocks mixed ahead of Fed’s meeting NEW YORK (AP) – Investors turned cautious Monday ahead of the Federal Reserve’s meeting on interest rates. Major stock indexes closed narrowly mixed after trading lower for most of the day. An analyst upgrade of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. helped lift the Dow Jones industrial average by about 18 points to its fifth straight gain. Investors will be looking to the Fed’s statement that follows its meeting Tuesday for clues about the economic recovery and the central bank’s plans for interest rates. Policymakers are almost certain to keep the Fed’s benchmark rate unchanged at near zero. While investors have been factoring in an eventual rate hike, any signs that the move will be made sooner rather than later could hurt stocks. “The market is hoping that they will give us some sort of timeline as to when they will begin tightening monetary policy. I don’t think that’s very likely,” said Scot Johnson, senior client portfolio manager with Invesco Fixed Income in Houston. Some of Monday’s selling came in response to economic developments in China. Statements from Chinese officials about the nation’s currency fed new concerns that China’s efforts to slow its economy and curb inflation would hurt a global recovery.

have said they will try to minimize the effect on shelf prices. Central Athens greengrocer Vangelis Tangalos said the sales tax increase would further damage weak sales. “We’re already 30 to 40 percent down,” he said. “Now with the increase there will be even more of an effect.” Greece will present the first results of its austerity measures at the EU ministerial meetings Monday and today, and says it is looking for political rather than financial backing to pull through a crisis that has hammered Europe’s common currency and alarmed global markets.

“The details will be worked out soon, so that indeed we don’t have to borrow again in the barbaric fashion we have been borrowing all this time,” government spokesman George Petalotis said. While Greece had little trouble finding buyers for its debt in recent bond sales, it had to pay high yields to offset market fears of a possible default. European Union finance ministers were meeting in Brussels to discuss the possibility of some kind of support for Greece, although in what form and under what conditions was not immediately clear.

Dodd unveils US financial regulation plan WASHINGTON (AP) – A new Democratic Senate bill to tame U.S. financial markets would give the government new powers to break up firms that threaten the economy and would force the industry to pay for its failures. Legislation unveiled Monday by Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd falls shy of the ambitious restructuring of federal financial regulations envisioned by President Barack Obama or contained in legislation already passed in the House. But the bill would still be the biggest overhaul of regulations since the

Tax hikes hit Greece amid EU meeting

ATHENS, Greece (AP) – A wave of new tax hikes hit Greece on Monday, raising the cost of consumer goods despite recession and high unemployment, as European Union finance ministers gathered in Brussels to discuss the country’s debt crisis. The center-left government has increased the main sales tax from 19 to 21 percent, as part of a €16 billion ($22 billion) austerity package intended to cut the budget deficit by almost a third this year. The hike raised the cost of fuel and most consumer goods and services, although many retailers

1930s. It comes 18 months after Wall Street’s failures helped plunge the nation into a deep recession. A leaner Federal Reserve would gain new powers to regulate the size and the activities of the nation’s largest financial firms. The bill would create a consumer protection bureau within the Federal Reserve to write regulations governing all lending transactions. Bank regulators, however, could appeal those regulations if they believe they would affect the health of the banking system. The breadth of the bill would touch all corners of

the financial sector, from storefront payday lenders penthouse office suites on Wall Street. The bill creates a powerful nine-member Financial Stability Oversight Council that could: • Place large, interconnected financial institutions such as insurance conglomerate American International Group under the supervision of the Federal Reserve. • Approve the break-up of large complex companies if they pose a “grave threat” to the to the U.S. financial system. Such actions would require a two-thirds vote of the council.

Winslet, husband call it quits LONDON (AP) – British movie star Kate Winslet has separated from her film director husband Sam Mendes after nearly seven years of marriage, their law firm said Monday. The surprise split puts an end to a golden couple of Britain’s show business world, buttressed by matching Oscars and a host of commercial successes and artistic accolades. The pair’s law firm, Schillings, said the split was

“entirely amicable and is by mutual agreement.” Winslet, 34, shot to international stardom on the back of her appearance opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in “Titanic,” and sealed her reputation with an Academy Award for best actress for her role in “The Reader” in 2009. Mendes, 44, was already an acclaimed stage director by the time he won an Oscar for directing “American Beauty” in 1999.

Polanski’s wife says their worst moments are over WARSAW, Poland (AP) – The wife of Roman Polanski says she believes the 32-year-old sexual abuse case against her husband will be finished soon. French actress and singer Emmanuelle Seigner, 43, was to appear in a TVN24 interview in Poland on Monday and the station ran some clips before its broadcast. Polanski, 76, was arrested in September on a U.S. arrest warrant and is under house arrest in

the couple’s house in Gstaad, Switzerland, pending an extradition Seigner decision. Seigner says their life is “not ideal” but is “good” because Polanski can see their two children, Morgane and Elvis. She says she believes the matter will be “solved and over pretty soon” and that the “toughest moments are behind us.”
